A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi All my CM1000 I bought in 2017 seems to be end of life, this past month I had to rent a Comcast all in one (I know) to rule out that it was the internet service but it definitely seems to be my modem at fault.

What would you guys recommend I replace it with? I'm limited to 1Gbps in my neighborhood.

My unpopular opinion.. Comcast's XB7 and XB8 boxes are fine hardware wise. If you're paying for unlimited data its literally cheaper to rent their modem with unlimited.

If you're paying a monthly fee to rent, you'll make your money back in a year by just purchasing a modem jnstead

Comcast charges $30 for unlimited data, and $25 for unlimited data + modem rental
